I have a slight obsession with hole punches! This is one way that I keep myself super organized when it comes to crafts! I just whip out the boxes and tell the kids what colors or sizes to get! It is so easy!

This has nothing to do with school but I was pretty shocked that it happened! I was on my way to a dinner party and popped TWO nails off at once! And I still had to go to the party! I was a little embarrassed, hehe.

Here we are working on Reindeer Hats for our Christmas Caroling!

Every year we ask parents to bring cut up fabric and each student makes a beautiful Christmas wreath to give to their parents. It's one of my favorite things we do!

I have several templates made out of file folders and the kids trace them (or I do if I am having an impatient day, lol!)

This is what the reindeer hats are for! They are sooooo cute!

We read the book "Snowmen and Christmas" which is very similar to "Snowmen at Night". We then did the same prompt as the rest of Pinterest "If I were a snowman at night, I would...." The kids loved doing tear art!

We had a class elf this year! I felt the pressure from other classes, lol! In a desperate attempt to maintain class control I sent an email to Santa asking him to send us an elf! He came the next day, and delivered M&M's since they lost them the day before! They named him Sneakers! It was fun, until I forgot to move him one time! Boy was that hard to get the kids to understand!

Before Thanksgiving break we invited all the parents to a Thanksgiving Presentation. We made turkey facts and wrote about the first thanksgiving. Then we shared a couple poems and a fun song! "Albequerque Turkey"

Next we made our own 120 chart because a number line is just too crazy when it's that long, right?

Some kiddos wanted to be silly when I took their picture!

The kids told me where to cut...such smarties!

Then I gave them Post-It's and told them to draw /th/ things.

We made a TH wreath.

On Thuraday we had an administrator visit us during our math lesson. We worked on understanding equality using story problems and a balance scale.
